Recurring Nightmares

I despise you.

Every ounce of devilish flesh your frigid soul possessed.

Never guessed,

I’d dangle hook, line, and sinker.

Bobbing and weaving in the treacherous sea,

Believing my role to be truly divine.

Yet I was just the bait, yeah,

I was swallowed by fate, yeah,

And this sickness lies in wait, girl,

 It relinquished the life from dilated eyes.

A desperate junkie, manipulating words fill the syringe.

Injecting lies as a cure for my blight.

Never shown the light.

I’ve grown weak, I’ve grown meek, my words have razor sharp TEETH!

I devour the world with my cynical ways.

For the light has grown red, invading my impressionable head.

Yes, you helped nudge me over the edge, yeah,

You watched me fall with no regrets and yet,

You still try to be my “special” friend.

Don’t you understand?!

You are why my conscience is dead!

I was fine before you; I was alive with ambitions

To sprout a family, to travel the world!

Now I’m one beat of a butterfly’s wings from showing you a rogue lion’s

Roar!

Your game is a

bore!

You said I deserve

more!
